"The thrill of getting on the field was amazing," said Jones, who replaced Iestyn Thomas with 10 minutes remaining. "The call came down to the bench and I had a burst of adrenaline. I didn't want to warm up - it feels like I've been doing that for the last 10 years! I always hoped and believed that my chance would come. I want to thank everyone who helped me to get here."

Jones caught the eye of Gareth Jenkins when the Wales coach watched Quins earlier in the season to assess the form of Wales centre Hal Luscombe. Should Jones get another chance in Saturday's (2nd June) second Test in Brisbane, he feels that Wales will hold the upper hand over the Wallabies in the scrum.

"I was only on for about three or four scrums in Sydney, but you could tell that the Australians were nervous about their ability there and we had the upper hand. They were engaging very early, jumping in, and we have to make sure that the referee knows they are doing that."
